Abstract
This study takes the perspective of cultural symbols as the point of departure to systematically explore the optimization of raglan sleeve attachment methods in women’s wear. By reviewing the evolution of raglan sleeves in women’s fashion since the 20th century, the research identifies the enduring tension between functionality and aesthetics. Through prototype experiments and pattern analysis, the study reveals the differences in mobility, shoulder fit, and visual aesthetics across various sleeve attachment methods. Furthermore, by incorporating culturally symbolized design approaches, the research proposes an optimized pathway that balances comfort, silhouette, and cultural expression. The results demonstrate that raglan sleeves are not only structural components but also important symbols that embody femininity and identity. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the need to integrate scientific pattern control with cultural contexts to advance the innovative application of raglan sleeves in contemporary fashion.
